On the eve of New Years, another child's life was taken in Bahrain. 15 year old Sayed Hashim Sayed Saeed was shot with a teargas canister in the face which caused his death. Picture of Sayed Hashim with 14 year oldAli AlShaikh who was shot in the neck with a teargas canister on August 31st.

Sayed Hashim was shot in the head with a teargas canister by the riot police. When 3 boys and a woman tried to save him, they were shot at with teargas, some of the teargas was shot near Sayed Hashim were he lay. Then the riot police attacked those trying to save Sayed Hashim, beating some with batons, one may have a broken arm and another has a serious injury. When one woman said "you killed him" one of the riot police shouted "shut up and don't you dare speak of this".

Lawyer Zahra Massoud went to the morque, she was prohibited from entering the area where Sayed Hashim's body is being kept.

Today we are receiving numerous reports of kidnappings, arrests and injuries in different parts of Bahrain. Several villages, as well as religious processions continue to be attacked as I write this email, in what has become the nightly routine of collective punishment.

In updates from the past ten days:

Protests in more than 26 villages on a daily basis, excessive use of force and attacks on these protests every day. It is important to note that the cases mentioned below are a sample of what has been happening, and do not cover all cases.

Riot police grabbed a child, told him "I will not arrest you" took out a knife and cut him in the arm, then let him go: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=853... This seems to be the new strategy to avoid documentation of abuse inside police stations.

Security forces attempted to run over brother of AbdulRedha Buhmaid who was shot in the head in February by the army. He had to be taken to the hospital as a result of the injuries sustained.

Child detainee 16 year old Ahmed Nema who suffers from Atopic Dermatitis Xerosis (https://twitter.com/#!/SAIDYOU..) was beaten by officer Hamad AlTurki who is now refusing him any kind of medical treatment. Ahmed is being kept in a cell with adult drug users.

Ali AlAradi, 13 years old, and Naji AbdulAziz, 11 years old, are being kept in custody on charges of throwing stones at riot police.

Widow of Zakariya AlAsheeri, who was killed under torture, had her parents house attacked with teargas which cause a fire. The targeting of family members of those killed during the uprising has happened numerous times, through arrests, imprisonment, teargassing of their homes, and desecrating the grave of the person killed.

We have received complaints from families that Officer Turki AlMajed has kidnapped and raped young boys, then forces them to work for the intelligence services. He also uses telephone nr: 36646448 to call young boys threatening to arrest them if they don't work for him.
